Instructions

Chickpeas

  • Pre-heat oven to 400 F.
  • Roll chickpeas on a clean dish towel to dry.  Transfer to a timed baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.  
  • Pop in the oven and roast for 20 minutes or until the chickpeas are golden brown and slightly crispy.  They tend to become more crispy as they cool.  Set aside.

Quinoa

  • Place rinsed quinoa in a small pot with water and a pinch of salt.  Turn the heat to high and bring to a boil.  Reduce the heat to low, pop on a lid and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the quinoa has absorbed the water and is nice and light and fluffy.
